HRI's emergency feeding program serves communities where there is increased food insecurity for vulnerable families. In Haiti and Guatemala, these are some of the most severely impacted by hunger. Many rely on meager earnings from the informal economy and have no support system. Without work or income, they are facing dire circumstances.
HRI ensures that no child in our programs goes hungry because of extreme poverty, pandemics, or other natural or manmade disaster!
Over 5.7 million Haitians are facing acute hunger, with over 2 million experiencing emergency levels of food insecurity!
In partnership with the World Food Program(WFP), HRI is currently supporting 11,500 of the most vulnerable households in Haiti with emergency food and cash assistance. HRI is actively seeking support for a 12-month initiative to pair with this emergency nutrition program as we aim to shift from emergency relief to lasting resilience by empowering 600 vulnerable women to establish and manage small-scale goat-rearing enterprises for income generation.
In addition, HRI has provided more than 350,000 gallons of water to more than 13,900 displaced persons in Haiti since 2024!
